Based off of the immensely popular Diku MUD The Forest's Edge which went offline in 1998, the game which everyone loved to play has expanded! A vast amount of new objects, mobs, areas, quests, and coding modifications are being implemented over the next 30 days.

The Eternal Forest is a text-based MUD which is very user friendly. Characters can be created on the fly from a relatively simple race/class/alignment list, then begin exploring a humongous map which has grown and evolved for nearly eight years! There is no cost to play, and characters do not have to pay rent for upkeep. Roleplaying is encouraged, but not required. Players can choose to grow and explore the lands on their own, or band together with other online players to battle a series of increasingly challenging areas. Characters progress with improved skills, spells, and equipment. Players who love quests or attention to detail will enjoy the new zones being added, being some of the most detail-rich unique areas ever seen before. PK is available though restricted to particular zones.

Unlike most overpopulated graphical MUDs, interaction with the same players is frequent, yet without the loneliness present on many upstart text-based MUDs with small playerbases.

Long described as one of the most fun MUDs to play, TFE and its subsequent clones have maintained a steady playerbase and progression that stretches nearly eight years. Come join the fun at eternalforest.net port 9000!
